Where is the info coming from that says the 2026 EU will only have 2 finishes? I based my interpretation on the images the US mint generates for their coins I have explained this many, many times I'll waste my time doing it again but then I'm just going to wait for the coin to come out. The 2013 Enhanced Uncirculated US Mint generated image shows 3 different finishes The 2026 Enhanced Uncirculated US Mint generated Image does not.  That alone tells me it's not going to be the same as the 2013 To me the majority of the 2026 coin looks matte with only the fine details such as the letters and stars receiving the enhancement If you look at the pic below, the letters and the date of the 2022 UC US Mint generated image do not look the same as the 2026 The 2026 letters and date look more like the Kennedy half in the same picture  Edited by Boba Debt

 Well I guess the subscription for the 2026 enhanced uncirculated is already out. I tried to update to add one more but received the message "Cannot update subscription detail because quantity would exceed global product enrollment limits." It was subscription of house hold limit of 1 previously, now it's 10. |

In my opinion, The U S Mint's are Finally raising the Versions bar, In that it Seems Almost Everything in 2026 has a Enhanced Uncirculated Version.....   I am Thrilled with the options, Really feels like " The 2026 " releases are Giving the " Enhanced Uncirculated " versions and The 250TH Anniversary of America, Coinage to Treasure....  |

It depends on which Enh UC format they use for the 2026 coins
Could be any one of the 5 versions they already have or something new

Saw this picture posted on Reddit, guess someone from the U.S. Mint working on them took a picture. Looks like the images on the website, nothing like the 2013 enhanced uncirculated.  |

Yeah that one would be a real bummer alright. No enhancements at all?

Excellent Topic, Boba Your photos are Excellent, Thanks My view the U S Mint's did an Enhanced Uncirculated 2013-W as pictured finish is " their " interpretation " of the just One example of that finish. We can have Our own favorite enhancements , However they simply chose to " enhance " as they saw fit.  Now The 2026 U S Mint's product schedule Line-Up has Significantly stated " Enhanced Uncirculated " on Many products this year. The Honor of being highlighted like this during Our Country's 250TH Anniversary is Significant, Awesome finishes to come............... |

The application of the different finishes is going to be dictated by the design. With the Liberty Walking design, it's complex enough that certain areas are naturally going to be selected for enhancement, the stripes, the field of the flag, the stars. No one is going to enhance a non-existent detail. They can vary what areas get what finish, as they did with the 2013 vs the 2019 ERP (again the ERP is just a rearrangement of the finishes, starting with the field of the coin), but other than that, with the exception of Liberty's feet and sandals, all 2019 was was rearranging. It's hard to compare enhancements between different designs. Maybe the design that was pictured on Reddit is accurate, maybe they didn't want to do the same thing all over again, and just add the dual date and privy. It just looks pretty BLAH to me if that's what they end up producing and I'll be really glad to keep my subscription to 1. Not what I would expect at all. |
